I could not resist the opportunity to relate my only experience in heavy snow. 2 or 3 years ago we had left our old 5th wheel at our lot in West Branch, MI late into deer season. I had planned to hunt over Thanksgiving weekend and bring it home then. Just prior to Thanksgiving we recieved 8" of heavy wet snow. I decided to forgo the hunt and get the 5th wheel out of dodge before the snow was packed on the trail. We packed as quickly as possible and were soon headed down the trail. There is a long hill about 1/4 to 1/3 mile long. I put the truck in 4Lo, conciously took my foot away from the truck brake and when started down the hill locked up the trailer brakes. At the bottom of the hill we were still upright, but doing 30+ MPH! That was with a 8,000lb 5th wheel. I can't even imagine Hannah back there. Needless to say, since, we make sure we are cleared out before the threat of any significant amount of snow. That has to be the most adrenalin I've ever experienced.
